GTKRC (themes)

Well, I think there are a lot of new themers who have
trouble understanding gtkrc and think that the widget
factory is some magical app that once you have that
installed and you know how to use it theming becomes
very easy.

So this group I thought I'd start because I know there
are a lot of experienced themers here with a lot of
knowledge and a lot of new themers which have a lot
of questions.

This would be the place to discuss possible bugs
and fixes and ideas and such.

I think we need a place like this because:
"No problem should ever have to be solved twice."

Join if you have any knowledge in gtkrc or are interested
in starting making themes and contributing to this
site!

As you can see the text on the lower part, where there's a menu is white..
When I move the mouse on the text it remains white.. I need that this text was of a particular blue..
So I change the very first part of the gtkrc file in this part:
text[PRELIGHT] = "#009bf9"

Re: Please help with this particul

If I did understood well the problem is you are selecting text[property_X] for the whole theme:

So you should write that property inside the "input text" theme definition (which is what you want to change) not outside it. If you do it outside that limited space, your changes are applied to the whole theme. Thus, you get the weird behavior shown in 2.

You can't tear that out of me
No segregation - separation
Just me in my world of enemies

Now I'm working on the menus, and I've run into a problem. I want the menu to look kind of like this: http://ompldr.org/vNmdmaw/menu.png
That has transparency in a few places, and I don't know how to do that. If I leave transparent places in the image then it fills them with the background window colour. So I'm hoping that someone knows how to do this, or if not, I'm hoping someone has another idea for the menus. Thank you for reading this. :)

Re: Transparency in Gtk menus

afaik it's not possible with current gtk,
maybe with gtk3 but I doubt it.

I have never seen a screenshot with gtk
that offers anything else then the squared
menues.

rounding the menues might be somehow possible
with argb code like the murrine, however,
still, the shadows would prolly not know
the menues are rounded and would paint
square shadows..... not at all sure about
this tho, been a long time since I've played
around with gtk :)
